I cooked a second pot of green split pea soup. Everyone requested more. I used the baked ham shank left over from Christmas dinner.

Yesterday I bought some fresh hamburger meat instead of taking some out of freezer and made up a hamburger dip with velveeta cheese and threw in a can of diced tomatoes and green chiles, for my youngest son. I used to make that when my boys were teenagers to eat with tortilla chips.

I've been on a sandwich theme the past week, so I used the rest of the hamburger meat and made cheeseburgers for Larry and I today, some frozen french fries I threw in the air fryer (Which I didn't really care for). Just had regular hamburger buns, mayo, lettuce, tomatoe, red onion slices, and I picked up some gouda and provolone cheese. I overdid it a bit on the cheese, but it was good. Opened up a jar of zesty bread and butter pickles I had made a week or two ago.

Y'all keep talking about split pea soup and lima beans! I am going to have to put those on my list to make very soon! Yumm!
 
Just got back from a week at the BOL and the freezer is now crammed with venison and venison smoked sausage (My instructions to the processing place were "Smoked Italian links, hot, less fat" and it came out perfect)
So I see red beans rice and sausage, country fried venison, coffee rub venison, venison burgers, and Mongolian venison on the menu for many dinners to come. Some beans are soaking tonight.
 
Lunch was better than dinner. Bought 3 cooked crabs for dinner. We ate 2 last night.

Dinner was a can of chili. Wife working so much is getting old. 6 days and about 78 hrs
 
Since it's Sunday I made dinner for today and next cple of nights..a meatloaf, Salisbury steak with mushroom n onion gravy, and calf liver n onions, macaroni salad, frozen corn in butter sauce, creamed spinach, mashed potatoes.

I had a salisbury steak, corn, creamed spinach, taters n gravy, Larry had cple slices of meatloaf, spinach n corn...I was going to make cornbread but stood on my feet too long in kitchen..and had to do some laundry, so I pulled out 5 cheese Texas toast (I know, weird bread choice)...

We had fried tofu with green onions, and some sort of black bean and tapioca pearl concoction. And rice. Not exactly my idea of a complete meal. I don't count tofu as meat, so I air fried some venison sausage.
And a Land Shark beer.

Does your wife make your tofu?
Tofu is not really for me but I always wondered if homemade would be better.

She buys organic tofu at Aldi. She has made dòujiāng (fresh soy milk) at home before from soybeans straight off the combine back when we still had soybean fields (I made some too). I actually like homemade, and also the fresh made dòujiāng from street vendors in Taiwan. I can't stand store bought soy milk. So I call the store bought stuff "soy milk," and the homemade by it's Chinese name - 豆浆 {dòujiāng which means "bean broth"}. Chinese basically call the store bought soy milk "soy milk" too - 豆奶 (dòunǎi which means "bean milk").
It would be fairly easy I think to go from the homemade dòujiāng to tofu but I don't remember her ever doing it.
 
Did some chicken thighs. Fresh lemon, garlic, broth and spices. It was supposed to be a marinade but I baked in it instead.
Marinade was good over the rice, my wife is a rice purist and likes hers plain with butter. Best of both worlds for both of us.
